Hi, If I understand correctly then, you have a grid probably with multiple rows and the map control provides the content for one of these rows. If this is the case then you should just be able to use an asterisk in the grid row size definition to indicate that that row should fill all the remaining available space e.g. <Grid.RowDefinitions>     <RowDefinition Height="100" />     <RowDefinition Height="200" />     <RowDefinition Height="*"/> </Grid.RowDefinitions> ... <esri:Map Grid.Row=2 .../> Cheers Mike ...

Hi, Can you provide some more information about what you would like to achieve? Do you mean allowing the user to resize the map control at runtime, or just having the map control automatically fill the remaining space within your application? Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, It sounds like the parameters may not be set up correctly when you added/imported the Python script into a toolbox in ArcMap. When adding a script to a toolbox the third screen of the wizard/dialog lets you define the parameters in terms of data type and input/output direction. You can access the same dialog after the script has been imported by right clicking the script within the toolbox then selecting Properties. There's some doc which covers this in the desktop help: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00150000000n000000. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, I believe you should contact your account representative for both Basic and Standard licenses. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Can you provide an example of your code - including both the view and the view model - which demonstrates how you're trying to do the binding? Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, If you can post an example GPK I'll happily take a look. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, I've attached an example app and GPK to this thread - the code's pretty rough but hopefully it demonstrates how I believe you can achieve your goal with this approach. I'll investigate the dynamic layers raster issue you reported. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi Miri, The input should be a String (GPString) which represents the path to the raster file. However, the GP approach is a heavier weight option than the dynamic layers approach because it will create 3 processes. I'm just working on an example of each and will post when finished.

Hi, If you use a Tile Package (TPK) this is an offline equivalent or extract of a tiled service. You can either generate the TPK in ArcMap from the original data or use the Export Map Server Cache tool (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//005400000013000000) this executes on ArcGIS for Server 10.1 and can export an extent of cache as a TPK for use with the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF. The TPK can then be shared across map controls/applications. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, The ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Printing assembly works with the ArcGIS for Server ExportWebMap Task (see http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/index.html?gp_exportwebmaptask.html). Unfortunately WebMaps do not currently support local layers. However, we are working on a printing sample which will support local layers and hope to post this on the Resource Center gallery as soon as we can. We're also considering a "copy to clipboard" style sample - I'd appreciate your feedback if you think this would be useful. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Ideally you should try to avoid any on-the-fly reprojection of layers because it always incurs some degree of processing overhead, however small. But often reprojection is unavoidable if you are mixing layers from different servers/organisations and this is the behavior: - Tiled Layers: Cannot be reprojected either in the client application or on the server because the spatial reference is defined by the tiling scheme and the tiles are pre-rendered in that spatial reference. - Dynamic layers: WILL be reprojected on the server (local server / online server) if required to match the spatial reference of the map control. This is on a per request basis and will involve a small processing overhead on the server. - Feature / Graphics layers: WILL be reprojected by the client API if required to match the spatial reference of the map control and will involve a small processing and possible memory overhead in the client appplication. To reproject individual, or specific sets of, graphics or features as you need you can use a [local] geometry service. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Any symbol which cannot be supported in the new accelerated display will raise a System.Argument exception with the message "Graphic Symbol is not serializable to JSON". The supported symbol types are esri SimpleMarkerSymbols, PictureMarkerSymbols, SimpleLineSymbols, and SimpleFillSymbols. Symbols with control templates are not supported. If you would like to use custom symbols you can use the AcceleratedDisplayLayers group layer. Any layers outside this group (above or below in the layer stack) will be rendered by the standard WPF rendering engine. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Thanks for your questions. In the future I'd recommend creating new posts for specific questions rather than replying to the sticky announcements. RE: VS2012: Although it is imminent, unfortunately VS2012 was not released at the time of our released and therefore we could not complete testing and certification against this IDE. However for the next release we hope to include support for VS2012 and .NET 4.5. Having said that, although the current SDK install requires VS2010 SP1 to be installed, if you also have VS2012 installed then you should be able to build apps with the API. RE: Windows 8 Metro style apps: The recently released ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF does not support the development of Windows 8 Metro style apps because it's a different programming model. We are however actively working on supporting Windows 8. More details may be available at the UC. RE: Costs / licensing requirements: For pricing information please contact your local distributor. Regarding licensing - apps which use the Basic level of functionality (i.e. the API backed up by online services) are free to deploy. Apps which use additional local data/analysis functionality will require a paid for Standard license. There are also extension licenses available for 3D analysis, spatial analysis and network analysis. For more info please see http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/concepts/index.html#/Functionality_set_requirements/017000000067000000/. Cheers Mike ... View more
